Have the BritonS BACKED Down?

The Toronto, Canada, Globe, reierring &
to Lord Salisbury's proposition for a
settlement Of the fishery question, says:
Lord Salisbury proposes an abject sur
render to the Washington government,
not surrender OF anything belonging
to the English or Great Britain, but the
surrender Of an immensely valuable
property belonging to the Bri:ons Ct
Canada, and the surrender Of every main
contention hitherto upheld by the
Canadian people. We PORTED out the
other day that the issue between Canada
and the United States was such that oEe
or the other must yield absolutely unless
general settlement evading that issue
could be arrived at. One has been
reached.
It consists in giving everything TO the
United States, and in disgracing an2 dis
.honoring the people Of this country as
they could never be disgraced and dis
honored by manfully defending then
rights to the point OF war. The offer OF
the tory premier is cowardly, despicable
and treacherous to Canada, and should
it be ratified by the dominion parliament
it will never again be possible to assert
rights to exclude American fishermen
from our inshore waters.

Onr Business with Canada.

Few Of the men, perhaps not even
Senator ingalls, himself, who will be
satisfied with nothing but war with
Canada, have little knowledge of the
enormous interests that would be i'm
periled by such conflict. According
to the report OF the Bureau of Statistics
the exports from the United States to
the Dominion IL 1856 were of the value
of <S;4i, <S44i S5S, 039, Of which sum S29, $685.
SIS represents tie value Of dutiable mer-
cbanlis2 and Sl5,19S,1G the value OF
merchandise free of duty. The Canadian
customs officers report much larger
figures. The value of our importations
from Canada in 1856 was, according to
their figures, S37, 81, 636, of which $685.
300, lob was the value of dutiable mer-
chandise and Sl2, ,0G5, 533 the value Of
free wares. The valne, therefore, of the
commerce imperiled by the passage Of
the fisheries retaliation bill is in the
neighborhood OF SS2,00G,000. Our ex-
ports to the entire British North Ameri-
car possessions in 1886 were of the value
OF 80. 7'12 33332; our imports therefrom
- ::}}71 4iyj, 33S, making q total commerce Of
SS7,2G9, so likely to be be affected more
or less by retaliation. The total i'm
poTtations of fish in the same period
were worth 1851, $40, over one-fourth OF
the value OF the fish importation from
all parts OF the world. The number of
New England vessels engaged in catch
ins ths cod, mackerel, herring and food
fske. and menhaden in 1856 was l,200,
e---p.oyinG 1920 men, two-thirds OF
whom are Canadians.

The Kansas Election.

The New York Eeening Post, and other
papers. ever since the Kansas election,
have been defining the lessons OF that
election" In LeavenwoTtE tie scenes are
described as bordering on disgrace, and the
hostile editors are still making great ado.
The Springfield Republican, however,
comes to the rescue of the fair voters in this
way: If the misconduct or wrong judg-
ment of few Kansas women is to weigh
against the rights of the whole sex TO take
part in the government OF tie State they
helped to found and n:aiuiain-for Kansas
was made free State more by its women
than its men-what shall VIC say Of the
male sex there? In the first Kansas cleo
tions, from 1914 to 1859, gossip ana scott
ing were not the weapons most 10 be feared;

against one party or the other, it was I;
favorite method TO steal the ballot box or

their legal ballots will cantlast very favor

Goukliue's Professional Success.

There is something remarkable in the
professional success which has attended
Mr.. Conkling since he was forced out OF
politics. As general thing, the lawyer
who is long in political life becomes 4
lawyer only in name. He may pass for
one when among those not learned in
the law, but among practitioners ne
passes for politician. The reason for
this is obvious. The laws of Parliament
or Congress are not the rules OF Courts
or the decisions of the Justices, and only
the natural lawyer follows the latter after
the necessity for doing so has passed.
Conkling never abandoned the custom.
While in public life he pursued his
studies as diligently as when only a
struggling beginner, and the result was
that he was not generation behind the
age when he resumed the practice of his
profession. Few New York lawyers
make half es much money as ue. and 1t
IS said That lew saws more than he nas
saved in recent years.

4 Scheme TO Rob the Government.

is put out that the stockholders of the
unios: Pacific, one Of the companies to
be Investigated, will turn o7er the main
line, stripped of its branches and busi-
ness, to the government for an elephant.
The government will thus, it is assumed,
practically lose its debt, and the men
WHO have swin3l2a it will form new
transcontinental system out OF the roads
built, it is alleged, with Union Pacific
funds, but not consolidated with the
Inicn Pacific line. The investigation
